Angela has looked after my daughter, Zara since she was 8 and half months old mostly full time until this July when she leaves to start school in September.
Nothing has ever been too much for Angela, she is extremely accommodating and Zara absolutely adores and loves her. She always gets excited when she knows she is going to Angela’s and doesn’t want to leave. Zara has become part of Angela’s family over the years and they are so loving towards her.
Angela provides many activities both at the home and outside the home including paying to take Zara to Hever Castle and Wakehurst etc to do their special events like Gruffolo or Hungry Caterpillar.
She was also great with supporting with teaching the key skills like toilet training and using cutlery.
I can’t thank Angela enough for all the hard work she has put into helping support Zara to grow into the happy little girl she is now.
Angela is great at communicating sending pictures of their day and taking the time to speak to you at both the beginning and end of the day.
Angela is also brilliant and getting the children to make things for key events such as Fathers and mothers days which is so nice to receive personal gifts from the children that she has taken the time to put together which is all included as part of her service.
Angela provides a great range of healthy and nutritious food for the children to enjoy.
I wouldn’t hesitate to speak to anyone enquiring to place their child with Angela, she is absolutely brilliant and you won’t be disappointed with the care and attention you receive.
Thank you so much Angela for everything you have ever done for Zara it will never be forgotten and Zara absolutely adores and loves you! We will miss you come July!

My daughter Chloe has been with Angela since she was 21 months, and sadly after just over 2 years, we have had to say goodbye to her as I am expecting baby number 2.
Chloe had previously been at a local nursery, and I was left very disheartened when I would pick up my previously confident and sociable girl absolutely crying her eyes out. It wasn't the right environment for her, so I looked into childminders. After visiting 4 or 5 in the local area, I immediately clicked with Angela, and I knew she was the right fit for my daughter!
The bond between them was instant, and Angela treated Chloe like her own from Day 1. The difference in Chloe was amazing- she absolutely thrived in Angela's care, and there were no tears at pick up anymore, which was such a relief!!
Everyday was an adventure at Angelas- they visited multiple toddler groups in the week, went on trips to local garden centres, parks, play dates with other childminders, tons of creative activities at home (including Chloe's favourite- making and playing with homemade play dough!). Angela's house is immaculate and she has a beautiful garden for the children to play in. She was also very flexible and accommodating if we needed to drop or pick Chloe up at slightly different times.
But for me, the thing I love the most is that Angela feels like family now. Chloe loves her to pieces, and always tells me how much she misses her when she isn't there! Chloe was welcomed into Angela's family, and she absolutely dotes on Angela's husband and two lovely daughters, who went above and beyond to make Chloe feel special. It was a home away from home for Chloe, and I didn't worry about her one bit when I was at work! I know Chloe and Angela will always have a special bond, and know we will stay in touch for many years to come!

Angela looked after Millie for me two days a week since she was 5 months old. With Millie being so young it was extremely hard for me to leave her but Angela was great, particularly at settling my mind and reassuring me.
Millie has loved being looked after Angela and her family who are also very welcoming.
Angela was flexible when I needed her to be which was great and a godsend with my work!
I wouldn't hesitate recommending Angela at all. Out of all the childminders I saw, which was a lot, Angela stood out and lived up to my expectations.

Angela looked after my 2 children for 3 years and was always very accommodating and reliable.
The children totally adore her and will always speak about their time with her and the activities they would do.
I would highly recommend Angela to anyone.
